DeepCT is a notification-only, parallel workflow tool for use by hospital networks and trained clinicians to identify and communicate images of specific patients to a specialist, independent of standard of care workflow. DeepCT uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images for findings suggestive of a pre-specified clinical condition and to notify an appropriate medical specialist of these findings in parallel to standard of care image interpretation. Identification of suspected findings is not for diagnostic use beyond notification. Specifically, the device analyzes non-contrast CT images of the brain acquired in the acute setting and sends notifications to a specialist that a suspected ICH (intracranial hemorrhage) has been identified and recommends review of those images. Notified clinicians are responsible for viewing non-contrast CT images of the brain on a diagnostic viewer and engaging in appropriate patient evaluation and relevant discussion with a treating specialist before making care-related decisions or requests. DeepCT is limited to analysis of imaging data and should not be used in-lieu of full patient evaluation or relied upon to make or confirm diagnosis.

This software is used to analyze the head computed tomography image of a patient suspected of having intracranial hemorrhage and/or hematoma (hereinafter referred to as "ICH"). Provide a "present" situation (with ICH) notification, send a text message to the user. DeepCT (Ver. 4.1.4) is a software-only device that uses two components: (1) Image Forwarding Software and (2) Image Processing and Analysis Server. (1) The Image Forwarding Software is configured by the hospital to be used on a computer and is responsible for transmitting a copy of DICOM files from the local through a secured channel to the Image Processing and Analysis Server. When the Image Forwarding Software receives the interpretation result from the Image Processing and Analysis Server, it shows the result on the screen. If there is a suggestive of ICH, the Image Forwarding Software sends a notification to the specialist identifying the study of interest. While the software informs the notification process, no other diagnostic information is generated from the software or available to the user beyond the notification. (2) The Image Processing and Analysis Server is responsible for receiving, assembling, processing, analyzing and storing DICOM images. This component includes the algorithm that is responsible for identifying and quantifying image characteristics that are consistent with a ICH and transmit the result back to the Image Forwarding Software.
